COMBINED WRENCH THREADINGL-DIE, AND PIPE-CUTTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 14, 1907.

Application filed June 7,1906. Serial No. 320,655.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNHARD I. BORSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Garneill, county of Fergus, and State of Montana, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Wrench, Threading-Die, and Pipe-Cutter, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to combined wrenches, threading dies, and pipe cutters.

In the present invention, my obj ect. is the provision of a wrench having novel means for the adjustment and locking thereof, whereby rapidity and ease of adjustment may be had and secure locking of the sliding jaw obtained.

Another object of this invention is the provision, in a wrench of the sliding jaw type, of a novel jaw construction, adapting the jaws to be used as a holder for the screw-threading die or the pipe cutter and, also, to provide improved means, whereby a supplemental handle may be attached to the wrench so that leverage may be applied on both sides of the threading die.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a novel pipe cutter attachment for the present wrench.

Having the foregoing objects in view, a full disclosure of the invention will be found in the following specification and accompanying drawings, while the novel features are set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the wrench. Fig. 2, a ver-' tical section thereof. Fig. 3, an edge view thereof. Fig. 4, an end view thereof. Fig. 5, a detail of one of the threading dies Fig. 6, a view, parts being broken away, illustrating how the supplemental handle is used and showing the die in position for screw threading operation; Fig. 7, a view showing a novel pipe cutter attachment held by the wrench; and Figs. 8, 9 and 10, details of the pipe cutter attachment.

The numeral 1 represents a shank which is provided with an integral handle 2, preferably cut away at 3 for the sake of lightness, said handle having a pair of pivot lugs 4 and a pair of guard lugs 5. The edge of the shank is grooved at 6 and this is continued through the handle 2. It will be understood that the handle 2 might be made of wood or separate from the shank 1, if preferred.

Secured to the outer end of shank 1 is a fixed jaw 7, which has a socket 8 in its outer face to receive the supplemental handle.

The sliding jaw is shown at 9. The'jaws 7 and 9 are provided with inserted steel serrated jaws 10' and 11, but it will be understood that the adjacent faces of the jaws 7 and 9 could be directly serrated and these inserted jaws 10 and 11 dispensed with. The inserted jaws 10 and 11 are provided with sockets 12 which are blind or closed at their outer ends, but their inner ends are open adj acent the groove 6. The grooves or sockets 12 are adapted to receive the two-part threading die 14, the parts of which have flanges 15 and 16, which are received in said grooves 12, and one member of the die is provided with a flange 17, received in the groove 6. Thus,

when it is desired to use the tool as a threading die, the threading die can be readily clamped in position, as shown in Fig. 6, and will be securely held, no screws, pins, or other fastenings being required. The su plemental handle 18 would be fitted into the socket 8 and could then be grasped by one hand while the other hand of the user grasped the handle of the tool. I/Vhen the die is not to be used, the handle 18 is dispensed with.

In Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10 is shown a pipe cutter attachment comprising a frame having flange 51 on three sides thereof to fit in the grooves 6 and 12 (Fig. 7), said frame having a notch 52 and convexed guides 53. A cross-piece 54 having tongues 55, detachably held in slots 56 in frame 50 by screw pins 57, has threaded therethrough an adjusting screw 58 whose grooved end 59 is loosely received in aperture 60 of the cutter head 61 carrying rotary cutter 62. able in a dovetailed or undercut groove 64 in head 61, have notched ends 65 which are received in groove 59 and afford a swiveled connection between the cutter head and screw 58. The ends of the cross-head and slides are notched to fit the guides 53, on which the cross-head slides. With the pipe cutter attachment, various sizes of pipes may be cut by adjusting the screw 58 to suit the diameter of the pipe and the cutter is fed to its work by turning said screw, thereby rendering the cutting of a pipe very expeditious. The jaw 9 is provided with a dovetailed or T-shaped channel or groove 22, which receives the head 23 of the locking rack 24, which slides in the groove 6 and between the lugs 4 and the guard lugs 5. I Piv- 1 1o Slides 63, slidoted on a pin or screw which passes through lugs 4, is a locking handle 26, the pivotal portion 27 whereof lies between the lugs 4 and is provided with teeth 28 to engage the rack 24, but the handle part of lever 26 is rounded and broadened to constitute a continuation of the handle 3, and its free end is provided with a linger 29 which lies between the guard lugs 5 and is held by a sliding pin 35. The cutout portion 3 is provided with shoulders or beveled portions 30 corresponding to similar parts on the lever 26.

To adjust the wrench, the pin is pulled out and lever 26 is swung outwardly and the sliding jaw 9 moved to the desired position and thereafter the lever 26 is swung against the shoulders 30 and the handle grasped to operate the tool as a pipe cutter, a wrench, or a threading die. The wrench can be used both as a monkey wrench and as a pipe Wrench.

l l l l i l l l IL ving thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure bv Letters Patent, is V In a combined wrench and die stock, he combination with a shank, of a jaw connected thereto, a jaw movable on the shank, means for locking the movable jrmv, said jaws being provided with elongated sockets or cut-out portions which are closed at their outer ends, said shank having; a recess, and an attachment provided with flanges adapted to be received in the sockets aforesaid and also having" a flange adapted l or reception in the recess ol" the shank.

in testimony whereof, l hereunto allix n1 signature in presence ol two nitnesses.

BERNHARD 1. BORSICN.
